It Takes Two to Tango (Tom Hiddleston and Mark Ruffalo Fanfic)

Guilt

~3 Months Later~  

It's going smoothly. I think. Dating two guys is not easy. My emotions are all over the place. Mark and Tom are really great guys but, who do I chose? How would they react if I told them about my secret? Would I lose them? I don't want them both to be angry with me. I fell in love with Mark first. Yet, when I met Tom my whole life changed. I started falling in love with him too. What have I gotten myself into.

I was on my way to the office when I see Corey sitting on one of the benches in front. I glared at him and walked right past him. "Melony, wait!" he shouted behind me. "I'm extremely busy right now." I snapped. "Would you just give me a minute of your time? Please, that's all I ask." I turned around in on one swift move and glared at him. "You got thirty seconds...Go!" "Look, I know I hurt you in the past. I swear to you I'm deeply sorry about everything. Could you just give me one chance to prove it to you?" He was studdering in his words and uncordinated. I rolled my eyes at him and looked away. "Listen Corey, I will never go back with you. I have a boyfriend. He treats me a hell of a lot better than you. One that respects me as a woman. I'm not going to throw that all the way for some boy. I have a real MAN! So, do me this favor and leave me alone!" I go to walk away but was pulled back by my arm. Corey held on tight to my wrist and held me close to him. His eyes were filled of anger. "We're not done talking! You are mine! That punk boyfriend of yours is going to find that out real quick." he barked. "Go to hell!" I snapped trying to pull away from his grip.

"Is there a problem here?" asked Tom slowly approaching us. He looked angry as he seen Corey hold on to my wrist. "Why don't mind your own business, pal?" said Corey. "How about I not? Now, getting your fucking hands off my girlfriend!" With one hand Tom pushes Corey causing him to fall. I put my arm around Tom and grinned at Corey. He stood up dusting himself off. He goes to walk away then out of no where he lunges at Tom. They both hit the floor as they began wrestling eachother. "STOP IT!" I tried to pull Corey off of Tom. He managed to get two hits off of Tom before rolling over and getting muliple blows from Tom. Corey just laid there as Tom got off him. He held me close to him looking down at him. "You stay away from her! Do you understand me? If you ever come near her again? So, help me I will rip you in half." I lead Tom to his office and went inside. I took my handkerchief and wet it with my bottle of water. He had blood coming from his lip and nose. "Are you alright?" he asked. I looked at him and smiled. "The question is are you?" I asked. "I'm fine. He didn't hurt you did he?" "No." "Who was that anyway?" "Just your regular ex that can't seem to let go." "Ah, he's been harrassing you?" "It's no big deal." "To me it is. If he is still messing with you? I want you to tell me. I will handle it." "I'm a big girl, Tom." "It doesn't matter. You're my girlfriend and I'm going to protect you." I let out a sigh and looked away. He places his hand under my chin lifting my face up to look at him. "You don't have to be afraid any more. I love you, Melony. I want to be the one to take care of you. Even if it kills me I would never let anyone harm you ever again. You have my word as a man who is crazy in love to the most beautiful and amazing woman in the whole wide world." A tear ran down my cheek. I can't take this. I don't deserve him. I'm cheating on him with another man. And he's right down the hall. I gave him a weak smile. "Is something on your mind?" he asked. I need to tell him. "Tom, I'm not the woman you think I am. I haven't been completely honest with you." I replied. My heart was pounding against my chest. I'm so scared of how he would react. "What is, Love? You can tell me." "I have been dating Mark behind your back. Our relationship started way before I ever met you. I care about both of you equally. The reason I did this was because I was so afraid of choosing the wrong guy. Mark is a great guy but, I think our relationship is just sexual attraction. Then, I met you. You were exactly the kind of guy I wanted to be with. I hope you understand. If you don't want to see me again? I will understand."

It was complete silences in the room. I kept my eyes on Tom. He stood up and walked over to the window. He had one hand on his hip and the other on his head. He ran his fingers through his hair and let out a huge breathe. "Have you told Mark about this?" he asked with a steady voice. "No, but I plan to today." I replied. "I don't know what to say. Here I am pouring my heart to you for the past few months. Then to find out that you have been dating someone else at the same time." He paused for a moment then sat back down in front of me. There was no anger on his face. Just hurt. Our eyes stayed locked to eachothers for a moment. "Be honest with me. Who do you really want to be with?" I sat there a moment thinking. To be honest, I wanted Tom more than Mark. "I don't want to hurt either one of you if I chose." I said wiping away a tear. "Melony, you're hurting us more when you are dating us both. Can I tell you a secret?" "What's that?" "I've done this before. Back in London I dated two girls at the same time. You want to know what happened?" I nodded my head yes. "They found out and I lost them both. I was heartbroken. I also was confused as well while I was dating them. So, I understand how you feel. Tell you what. Later, today I want you to tell Mark everything. See how he reacts. After all is said, go home and make your choice. Even, if it hurts you have to do it. Let your heart decided for you. Take all the time you need. Who ever you choose I will understand." I really didn't expect him to be so understanding. Tom is just so amazing. I have to agree he was right. "Alright, I can do that. Thank you so much for being so understanding. I really don't deserve you." I said placing my hand on his. "That's what you do when you are in love. Melony, no matter what happens I'm always going to be there for you. Friend or boyfriend. Which ever one comes first? I'm not giving up on you." I pressed my lips against his for a moment. He's making me want him more and more. I pray I can make the right decision. I can only imagine how Mark is going to react.
